X users fed up with constant stream of malicious crypto ads

Post by rbc »

Cybercriminals are abusing X advertisements to promote websites that lead to crypto drainers, fake airdrops, and other scams.

Like all advertising platforms, X, formerly known as Twitter, claims to show advertisements based on a user's activity, leading to ads that match users' interests.

While Elon had previously tweeted that YouTube is nonstop scam ads, X appears to have its own problem, increasingly showing advertisements promoting cryptocurrency scams.
